Saudi Arabia Forklift Rental Market to Grow with a CAGR of 8.41% through 2030

Rising demand from logistics and warehousing, growing construction activities, and cost-effective fleet management solutions are the factors driving the market in the forecast period 2026–2030.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Forklift Rental Market – Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F”, The Saudi Arabia Forklift Rental Market was valued at USD 521.74 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 846.98 Million by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.41% during the forecast period.

The Saudi Arabia forklift rental market is gaining strength amid rising labor optimization needs, stringent occupational safety norms, and the evolving preference for customized rental packages. Companies are increasingly renting forklifts to meet compliance requirements related to load-handling safety and reduce downtime from equipment failure. Demand is especially prominent among sectors operating in time-sensitive environments, such as food distribution, pharmaceuticals, and oil & gas, where equipment reliability and availability are critical. Seasonal surges in construction and event-driven logistics are pushing demand for short-term rentals, while companies with cyclical operations are leveraging flexible contracts that align with project durations.

The Kingdom's aggressive push for automation and smart logistics is also impacting rental patterns, as users look for fleet integration with warehouse management systems and telematics tracking. Technological advancements in electric forklifts and the growing penetration of low-maintenance lithium-ion variants are contributing to the shift away from ownership, as renters benefit from reduced maintenance costs and improved energy efficiency. Forklift rental providers are responding by expanding their inventories to include smart and eco-friendly equipment. The push for sustainable operations under ESG mandates is further accelerating this transition, as rental allows companies to trial green machinery without upfront investments..

Saudi Arabia Forklift Rental Market Is Segmented by Operating Weight, Propulsion Type, Rental Period, and Region.

​In 2024, the short-term rental segment emerged as the fastest-growing category in Saudi Arabia’s forklift rental market. This surge was largely driven by increased project-based demand, especially from construction and logistics sectors undertaking time-bound contracts. Seasonal demand spikes, warehouse turnover cycles, and promotional event logistics contributed to short-term rental popularity, as businesses preferred renting forklifts for days or weeks instead of committing to long-term contracts. The short-term model allowed operational flexibility while reducing the need for capital-intensive purchases, especially for companies looking to adapt quickly to shifting inventory volumes or temporary site requirements. The growing availability of rental packages tailored for short durations, complete with servicing and operator support, made this option more attractive for diverse end users. The trend also benefited from an increase in last-mile logistics and retail warehousing activities, where frequent equipment rotation is common.

Among the major regions, the Western region of Saudi Arabia recorded the fastest growth in forklift rental activity in 2024. This expansion was propelled by high construction intensity in cities like Jeddah and Makkah, along with continued investment in urban infrastructure and logistics facilities. The presence of major seaports and ongoing megaprojects stimulated short-term material handling demand, further reinforcing the region’s lead in rental volume.
